Sure thing!

1. Download the Ubuntu 10.04 Alpha 2 32-bit .iso file to your home folder (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid/alpha-2/lucid-desktop-i386.iso)

2. Open the Terminal and run 'md5sum lucid-desktop-i386.iso'

3. Wait for the output, which will look like random letters and numbers

4. Compare that output to the one listed for lucid-desktop-i386 (http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid/alpha-2/MD5SUMS)

5. If the output matches the listing on that site, then burn lucid-desktop-i386.iso to a blank CD (just insert the blank CD, right-click the lucid-desktop-i386.iso file and select "Write to disc" and make sure it burns to the CD)

6. After the download has finished, restart your computer with the CD still in the CD drive

7. When the Live CD menu comes up, select "Try Ubuntu without making changes to your system"

8. Ubuntu will load into a new default setup

9. Try your scanner (the libraries should be installed by default)

10. After you are done, simply shutdown your computer, remove the disc, then boot back into Ubuntu 9.10

11. Report whether or not the scanner worked

Thanks for being willing to help!
